Cairns

The Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef

A neat, cosmopolitan city of shaded plazas and laid-back neighborhoods, Cairns serves as a popular base for exploration of the surrounding region and the Great Barrier Reef, as well as a center for watersport activities like surfing or waterskiing.

If you are flying in from Singapore, the closest major airport is Cairns International Airport. In December in Cairns, expect temperatures between 36°C during the day and 26°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
